Emissions regulations are forcing automakers to switch to greener alternatives to power their vehicles. And performance cars are no exception to this rule. The Stuttgart-based company is planning to offer a diesel powered version of its Cayenne SUV next year.

The choice of engine would most liekly be a V6 borrowed from Audi, says UK auto industry analyst Peter Schmidt via Automotive News Europe. Other more powerful engines (V8, V10, and V12) were also considered, but eventually called off due to their weight.

Audi is believed to be developing an efficient twin-turbocharged 3.2 litre V6 diesel engine producing more than 300 hp, which is the most suitable candidate for this purpose.
